Installation issues

Hi,

I'm installing WP Express 6.1 in Windows XP, I started inastalling the AS C1P0XML.zip, then I tried to install the WP Express C1P0RML.zip, the wizrd is asking for Disc-2, I guess it refers to C1P0VML.zip, I downloaded that file and the rest of the Portal Server Express components, the three discs.

I did not copy those files onto data-discs but only on my file system, however when I introduce the path of the unzipped C1P0VML file it sends me an error "Wrong disc number or support path not valid"

How can I get the portal installed?

Thank you.

Hi again,

Actually I just copied the files to a CD and I get the same error. What's wrong?

I've seen some tips in the web but don't work. Any ideas why? I was running a clean installation, from the scratch. Why it fails all the time?

Thank you.

Sorry; I didn't put it together right away that you were using Portal Express 6.1 with Windows XP. You need to to install regular WebSphere Portal instead of Portal Express. The issue here is that the DB2 installation requires a reboot, which the Portal installer cannot do and thus fails.

So, to clarify this will only happen with Portal Express and Windows XP. I had the same thing happen to me when I tried it. Conversely, Portal Multi-platform will install just fine on XP but you will need to transfer the Derby DB to somewhere else one you're done.
